Treehouse 1 - Treehouses at Starved Rock

TREEHOUSE 1 — A LUXURY TREEHOUSE EXPERIENCE AT STARVED ROCK

Welcome to Treehouses at Starved Rock, a boutique nature retreat on 26 private wooded acres directly beside Starved Rock State Park.

Four luxury treehouses are thoughtfully positioned across the land for privacy while sharing rare amenities like a private footbridge into Starved Rock’s trail system, a peaceful creekside dock leading to the Illinois River, and a dramatic sandstone bluff that borders the property.

This is not staying beside nature — it’s living within it.

Wake in the treetops. Step onto expansive two-story decks overlooking forest and bluff. Hike directly into Starved Rock from your steps. Paddle the river. End the day beside a fire as the sandstone bluff glows softly at night.

Just 90 minutes from Chicago, yet completely immersed in nature.
